The 6 Most Common Myths That Nobody Explains To The People Who Are In Debt.
Yeah, these myths has been spread very fast, and there are some trues you really need to know, once of the best examples is that you need a professional agency to do it for you, even they can help you to do it, you can do it for yourself. I did it so can you!, our next step will be to revel the truth from some of the most common myths about credit repair and debt consolidation issues.
Myth 1: I Can’t Do It Myself
We need help once in a while why not, but credit repair and debt consolidation is not one of those areas, it is an area where you can do it by yourself. Back in the days when I saw my credit report for first time I saw some “bad marks” on it (you know some late payments and stuff) I start freaking out and remember to think “there is no way I can do this by myself I will need some professional help” nevertheless I did it myself how? easy I got educated that is the key. And now you are going to get the best education possible on this subject, about how to consolidate your debt, repair your credit, maintain your credit score etc… while I was studying my credit report I realize about some big mistakes by either the creditor, the credit bureau and even both!!. This were not mine at all, I found several mistakes in multiple accounts and making some research turns out that anywhere from 75% to 90% of the credit reports contain errors.
Myth 2: You can not fix your bad credit.
Wrong. Just because you have bad credit doesn’t mean that you can’t repair it. It may take longer to fix, but it is repairable. There are many fast ways to restore your credit, build positive lines of credit, and get yourself back on the right track to good credit. If you think a 520 is bad-it is. I was turned down by every credit card I applied for. I even got denied at Banana Republic in front of 20 people at Christmas time. Yeah, no fun If I can do it, then so can you. It’s a matter of becoming educated and this videos will show you how to get your credit back.
Myth 3: You just have one credit Score.
In reality, you have three credit scores, one from each of the major credit reporting agencies. All three will give different scores, so when applying for credit one company may use one company and other place a different one. It’s always good to know your score from all three bureaus. They can vary by as much as 50 points.
Myth 4: If you check you credit this will lower your score.
There are different types of inquiries: soft inquiries and hard inquiries, the hard inquiries are the ones that will affect your credit score and these are done from the companies you wish to get the credit from, the other inquiries does not affect your credit score and those are the inquiries where you just want the information for promotional porpoises.
Myth 5: Shopping Around For a Loan Will Lower Your Score
This is one of the most common myths, remember that if you are looking for a credit from several vendors (mortgage, car loans, home loans, etc…), all this inquiries will appear in your credit report just once but remember that this just apply if the same kind of inquiry is made within 14 days, the only exception to this rule are credit cards.
Myth 6: If I remove all the negative items my credit score will improve.
This is a partial true, because as a matter of fact erasing your bad marks is just one part of the whole solution, what will boost your credit score is building “positive credit”. Can you still remember those days were you were turned down from a credit card company because you did not have credit? actually what they were trying to say is that you did not have build a “positive credit” with credit card companies.
“How to reduce the interest rate in your credit card with just one phone call”
Here is this little sweet trick: Get your telephone, dial your credit card company number and ask them to drop your interest rate! is that simple!, just tell them that you have in front of you a credit card with a lower interest rate, may be they are offering you a zero percent rate for the first 6 months and after that period they will charge you 8%, tell them that you are thinking to transfer your entire balance to this new company if they dont decrease your interest rate, chances are that you will get a better interest rate that the one you have right now, be extremely kind with the operator, but if you cant get a deal ask to talk to the supervisor, remember that the key part is to treat them to leave.
